DECLARED DEAD: By order of a Chicago probate judge, millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who disappeared last year flying solo over the Nevada desert, was declared dead Feb. 15. The declaration followed an emotional appeal by Fossett's wife of 38 years, Peggy, who was also seeking to have her husband's will entered into probate. The 63-year-old daredevil set many world records and in 2002 became the first person to travel solo around the world in a balloon.

ADDED: Saying the country needs a "Jeffersonian revolution," Ralph Nader announced Feb. 24 that he is running for president as an independent. This is the fifth time the 74-year-old has launched a White House campaign. Sen. Hillary Clinton called Nader's decision "very unfortunate."
